Old Man Collins

I've posted before on the "Aging of Barnabas Collins" sequences dramatized in the original series, House of Dark Shadows, and the 1991 revival; not exactly sure I can clearly articulate why this particular part of the story fascinates me so much, but apparently I'm not alone, as it has shown up in thee different stories in the DS mythos and was photographed extensively both in 1967 and again during the film of HoDS.  Certainly Dick Smith's amazing makeup skills are to thank,at least partially.  Here are a few examples of Smith's handiwork, and a link to his website where he discusses the original series as well as HoDS.
